A farmhouse in the middle of one of Britain's busiest motorways has been made the subject of a documentary. Stott Hall Farm, one of West Yorkshire's best known sights, appears cut off by the M62 motorway, with east- and westbound lanes dividing around the building.

For 10 years, it has been home to farmer Paul Thorp, who has grown used to the constant hum of the traffic. Danny Lomax, 28, a student filmmaker, said: 'I wanted to find what it was like for someone to live in the middle of one of the country's busiest roads, while living the life of a hill farmer.'

The documentary also debunks the urban myth that the motorway curves around the farmhouse because a former owner refused to move. 'It was the landscape that meant the motorway couldn't be built right through and had to be built around it,' said Lomax.
